Open a development environment

After you get the project source code from GitHub (see Get, compile and run Orbital Shell), it’s time to open the project files in an IDE. Here we explain how to use the best IDE choice for C# .NETCore development: vscode and visual studio. The project can be compiled using either dotnet or msbuild, any required configuration is provided in the project for that. In theses examples we assume that the project repository is the folder ~/orbital-shell
